[Verse] Em9-Em7 Sometimes when you talk mm-hmm Gm7 And I'm your Betty Boo and we're singing it close Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous Em9-Em7 I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame Gm7 But this isn't the silver-screen oh no A7Gm7A7 There's no pause no re-wind
[Chorus] Em9-Em7 Time to find out where the story goes Sadly too hip with the curtains closed Gm7 Watching ourselves au cinéma Em9-Em7 Taking our positions as the cameras roll You'll be the guy I'll be the girl Gm7A7 Watching ourselves au cinéma cinéma-ah
